I have three tables which I have linked with relationships. The linked fields are given the ID number of the parent, where I wanted the value. What on earth am I doing wrong, something stupidly obvious I bet! Access 2007
View RepliesHi All,
I hope somebody can help me on this.
I still use Access 97.
I have 4 tables that contain a vehicle registration number field as their primary key and have one-to-one referential integrity applied.
I want to add a new registration to all 4 tables from one query. How?
I've tried many permutations with no success, such as putting the registration on a new table and trying to apply this to the 4 RI tables. I keep getting ref intergrity violations. Obviously I could disable the ref integrity rules, update the tables and then reapply the rules, but this is not possible if I am going to make the database available to a user group. A new registration needs to be added seamlessly. By not having ref integrity could leave the DB in an inconsistent state.
Help! If what I want is not directly possible, then any work-round would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation

I upgraded my system to Windows 8 and Office 2013, and it's now 64 bit instead of 32 bit as before. Also note that I'm still using Access 2010 as before.So the following problem now arise in this new config that was not there before.
When you do a calculation like '332.16 - 1', the answer is now 331,16, instead of 331.16. Note the point are now replaces with a comma.
Might sound trivial, but everywhere in my code where is have a dynamic SQL like:
Currentdb.EXECUTE "INSERT INTO Tasks (TaskID, MyNumber)
VALUES ("Tsk123", Var1 - Var2)",
the result was always something like:
INSERT INTO Tasks (TaskID, MyNumber) VALUES ("Tsk123", 331.16), but now it is:
INSERT INTO Tasks (TaskID, MyNumber) VALUES ("Tsk123", 331,16), so it is seen as an extra value and the statement fails.
So, yes I can fix this one statement, but I have multiple occurrences of this throughout my app. How do I fix this?
And changing something in my Control Panel - Regional Settings would not be the answer, as on all the client PC's it might be different.
In Excel I can do the following;
Field A Field B Result
Chips Fries Replacement of 'Chips' with 'Fries' on menu.
(null) Fries Addition of 'Fries' on menu.
Chips (null) Deletion of 'Chips' on menu.
Can I do this in Access using some form of append query?
I have several tables that are linked that I need to be able to add to. This is an example of the structure:
Patient Info
ID
FK_Ward - ID of Ward table
FK_Room - ID of Room table
FK_Cond - ID of Condition table
Ward
ID
WardID
Room
ID
RoomNumber
Condition
ID
Description
Unfortunately, its not the exact one as I can't post that here! What I am trying to do is to add a new patient record using information from the other tables as guides - e.g. the user selects the name of the Ward but the ID in the Ward table is entered, the User selects the number of the room but again the ID in the Room table is entered, and for the Condition same thing. So I would like to have dropdowns (or ComboBoxes) for each of these and based on the user's selections add a new record to PatientInfo using the ID values as links.
The "PersonalDetails" table is related to the "Application" table using the autonumber from table, "PersonalDetails".
The "PersonalDetails" table has "StudentID" (autonumber), "First Name" and "Last Name" fields.
The "Application" table also has "StudentID", "First Name" and "Last Name" fields.
The "Application" table is related to the "PersonalDetails" table using the "StudentID" field.
How do I make it so that the first and last names on the "Application" table are automatically updated when the StudentID is entered?
I am having a problem with retrieving the information I am looking for. Basically I am checking to see if a user has selected a TRNumber from a drop down menu and if that TRNumber matches any other records in the table in that field. If it does, is that Number already associated with the user selecting it. If it is I want to get the ID number so I can simply update the record with new information. Here is what I have so far.
Code:
Dim Rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim Tech As String
Dim MsgStr As String
Dim IdMod As String
Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("PrepStartDateBlankQuery")
[Code] .....
What is the best way to allocate a record number to the end user?
I have had problems where users have come back to me saying that both of them created the same record number at the same time and I am not sure why that is happening.
To be certain, I am using INSERT rather than UPDATE which was my initial concern (an update would just over write the previous record)
How can we check the last value, uniquely assign that value to a person at the point of creating the record and ensure that no one else can take it...
Is it possible that a laggy server would cause these issues? (as the code executes roughly the same time as another person also executes code, they overlap?)
I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then
Me.Provider.Enabled = False
Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc.
Else
Me.Provider.Enabled = True
Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc.
End If
End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?
When I create a new record I am also generating a new Auto Number. This is so I have a sure fire way of returning the records that I want to return. I have read where it is a known issue that when using the Compact and Repair it can reset the Auto Number to a lower number and generate a duplicate Auto Number. That is the problem that I have at this time. I have tried using the Allen code but it doesn't seem to worked on linked tables. I use linked tables because I have multiple users who can access this system at any given point in time.how to have the Auto Number field select a number that is unique
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am working on a database where the records are numbered sequentially. On a regularly basis, records will be deleted leaving a gap in the record number sequence. I would like to have my db recognize that a number(s) is number in the sequence and use the missing number (filling in the gaps) when a new record(s) is added until all spaces are filling and then to continue from the largest number sequentially.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to return the number of record with the SQL search in MS Access. I am using the following code, the expected result will be a value. But somehow, it does not give any result.

How do I return the count value with the search?
I'm using Dmax() to return a max number in a field which I then want to inc by 1 for a new record. Dmax is returning 999. I believe Dmax therefore thinks it's a text field. So where do I change this to a number field?

I have a lot data to append to ODBC linked table in MS Access. I want to know that which way is faster to append the records.
if I append the data into ODBC linked table,
1) create the one query (append) to insert the records into ODBC linked table
2) use the VBA code (DAO/ADO) to insert the records into ODBC linked table
which way is rather faster?
I would like to be able to copy a single record in a table and then paste this record a pre-defined number of times 10,20,30 depending on requirements. The reason I need to do this is that I want to set up a number of identical records that can easily be amended into unique records. This will vastly reduce the amount of work and time spent entering records individually.
The only way that I have been able to achieve this is to copy and transfer the master record into Excel, and then copy the row and paste it into a range of cells. Copy the range of cells back from Excel and then paste this range back into the Access table.
This works but is long winded; what I would like to know is is there a simply way of achieving this.

Is there a way to combine four fields into one field in the same record? I am trying to build Equipment Code field by using the abbreviated values of Category, Item, Type and Dimension fields.
Example: if Category=Storage System (SS), Item=Wire Deck (WD), Type=Flared (F) Dim=42x52 are the user selected values the corresponding equipment code field would be: SS-WD-F-42x51 This is done in order for all users of the database to build a proper code in the correct format.
What I have so far: I have the four fields and the equipment code field setup in a form, the equipment code text box has a control source of: =[Category] & "-" & [Item] & "-" & [Type] But when I select values of the four fields and the equipment code is populated I try to save the record and I get an error stating that the Equipment code field needs to be filled out. Three fields (Category, Item, and Type) are look-ups from other tables and Dimension is typed in.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
Form A is used for data entry into SampleTable. On this form I have a some fields including these two: ReplicateA, LabBatchCode.
The database contains another table, IndividualSampleTable. This table contains two fields: ReplicateB, LabBatchCodeReplicateB.
When the user enters information into Form A, the data in fields Sample.ReplicateA and Sample.LabBatchCode are used to populate IndividuallSampleTable. But here's the twist: On IndividualSample Table, IndividualSample.ReplicateB needs to be autogenerated (I guess). Then the field IndividualSample.LabBatchCodeReplicateB is comprised of LabBatchCode entered in Form A, concatenated to the IndividualSample.ReplicateB field.
To make it tricker, the number of records added to IndividualSample table is determined by the value supplied on Form A in the field ReplicateA.
So, Form A could look like this:
ReplicateA: 3
LabBatchCode: CRBR05151998
IndividualSample table should end up with three records like this:
ReplicateB: 1
LabBatchCode: CRBR051519981
ReplicateB: 2
LabBatchCode: CRBR051519982
ReplicateB: 3
LabBatchCode: CRBR051519983
Hope this makes sense! And I appreciate the help!!!!
I would like to insert a sequence number into a query that currently returns 7367 rows.
Here's what it looks like now:
ID_NUM
DTE_FIN_TRANS_RCV
1322
9/27/2012
1322
7/10/2012
1011
7/2/1999
1011
9/22/1999
1011
10/21/1999
Here's the desired outcome with sequences:
ID_NUM
DTE_FIN_TRANS_RCV
SEQUENCE
1322
9/27/2012
1
1322
7/10/2012
2
1011
7/2/1999
1
1011
9/22/1999
2
1011
10/21/1999
3
All I need is a way to number rows with a value higher than the previous for that particular ID_NUM.
Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.
Thank you
I have a table called tblAccounts and a form called frmEnter_new_accounts. In my frmEnter_New_Accounts form is a Text Box for Account #. I want to have it so that when the user enters an account # it checks the tblAccounts table for a duplicate account # and then displays a message box (or Pop-Up form) to tell the user that the Account Number entered already exists. I would also like that box to offer the user the option to either Close that form without saving or return to the form to reenter a different account #.
I know I would probably do this in the LostFocus event or BeforeUpdate.
Does anyone have any ideas or samle code to assist me in this adventure?
I'm trying to get an invoice number field to auto generate the next number, keeping the format as "00000"...this is what I have, which gets the next number but drops the leading 0
Code:
Private Sub Customer_AfterUpdate()
If Len(Me.[InvoiceNumber] & vbNullString) = 0 Then
Me.[InvoiceNumber] = (DMax("[InvoiceNumber]", "[tblInvoiceNumber]") + 1)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End If
End Sub
invoice numbers are 04024, 04025 etc...how I keep the formatiing?
I would like to know if there is any procedure to restrict/stop auto number increment for certain number of record count (say 50), then increment by 1 for next 50 records.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an insert into statement this involves inserting values into date/time fields. I understand the a '#' has to come before and after the value, and when all values are populated this works great.
Code:
INSERT INTO TableName VALUES (#1/1/2013#,#1/2/2013#)
However, what about in the case of Nulls? The resulting statement then looks like the following. This results in the statement trying to put a '##' in the table and it doesn't like it.
Code:
INSERT INTO TableName VALUES (#1/1/2013#,##)
I am trying to input records into a local Access table, not a SQL table.
my form works fine on the first record of the database but now i have added a 2nd record some of the functionallity form the first record is applied to the second. At the moment in my table for each record i have a status field which speifies whether certain data is visible to the user or not. When i select visible = false on record one this is also appled to record 2. I dont want this and want each record to have there own specific status.
For example at the moment i have:
if me.combobox.value = 1
Me.mytxtbox.visible=true
else
Me.mytxtbox.visible=false
endif
This seems to apply the rule to all records not just the current one i am in. If explaination isnt clear i will gladly expand further
I currently have a bound form that adds a new student, however, I've decided I don't like bound forms as weird stuff can happen (like when the user exits in another way than I anticipated) so I'm making an unbound form which will add the student when a button is clicked. I already have this working on some other places so this should be no problem anymore.
However in my database a lot of student information is optional and only a first and last name are required (and ofcourse an autogenerated PK). So my question is how do I deal with these fields that might or might not be empty?
I could make a fairly big If ... ElseIf... construction where I slowly fill a String with all the optional fields but I was wondering if maybe there are some better ways to approach this?
